Rio

This is Rio the good boy! He is currently decompressing in foster and his foster family can't say enough good things about him. "We have been fostering him for about two weeks and he is doing great! He's a rambunctious player with people and other dogs, that's for sure! He didn't bark for the first three days but now he lets us know when it's time to play! I can't say enough sweet things about Rio!"
If you would like to meet Rio, please contact bshea@bvspca.org to set up an appointment.
Rio qualifies for the sponsored by Simba Program Pets for Veterans. There is no adoption fee for any dog or cat one year of age and up when adopted by a military veteran.
